product family processor with four cores up to 2.8 GHz, 10 MB L3 cache, and 1333 MHz
memory speed (CTO only); or one Intel Pentium processor 1400 product family processor with
two cores up to 2.8 GHz, 5 MB L3 cache, and 1066 MHz memory speed (CTO only).
Chipset Intel C600
Memory Up to 12 DDR3 DIMM sockets (6 DIMMs per processor). RDIMMs and UDIMMs are supported,
but memory types cannot be intermixed.
Memory With RDIMMs: Up to 192 GB with 12x 16 GB RDIMMs and two processors.
maximums With UDIMMs: Up to 48 GB with 12x 4 GB UDIMMs and two processors.
Memory ECC, Chipkill (for x4-based memory DIMMs), memory mirroring, and memory rank sparing.
protection
Disk drive bays Up to 16x 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS/SATA HDDs or SSDs, or up to 8x 3.5-inch hot-swap
SAS/SATA HDDs, or up to 8x 3.5-inch simple-swap SATA HDDs.
Maximum 14.4 TB with 900 GB 2.5" SAS HDDs, or 16 TB with 1 TB 2.5" SATA or NL SAS HDDs, or 24 TB
internal storage with 3 TB 3.5" SATA HDDs. Intermix of SAS/SATA is supported but not in the same volume.
RAID support RAID 0, 1, 10 standard with the ServeRAID C105 software RAID solution. Optional
hardware-based RAID with RAID 0, 1, and 10 support with the ServeRAID H1110, M1115, or
M5110. Upgrades to RAID 5 and 50 are available for the M1115. Upgrades to RAID 5 and 50
are available for the M5110 (zero-cache; 512 MB battery-backed cache; 512 MB or 1 GB
flash-backed cache). Optional upgrades to RAID 6 and 60 are available for the M5110 with
caches.
Optical drive One half-height 5.25" bays for optical drives. DVD-ROM or Multiburner standard (model
bays dependent)
Tape drive bays One half-height bay for optional USB tape drive.
Network Up to four integrated Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports with the onboard Intel
interfaces I350-CM2 controller (two ports are enabled, and an additional two ports require the optional
software FoD upgrade to enable them). One port is configured for remote access to the
Integrated Management Module, either dedicated (default) or shared.
PCI Expansion Up to six slots but the slots usable depend on the number of processors installed and the power
slots supply used. See "I/O expansion options" for specifics.
